Changes

In the past, trains to [[Toamasina | Tamatave]], [[Ambatondrazaka]] and [[Antsirabe]] used to leave from Soarano Train Station. Nowadays only some freight trains heading to the Eastern coast pass the station. In 2009 the 2-storey building was restored by [http://www.medp.com Madagascar Estates Development Partners] and turned into an upscale commercial and business centre. Several retail shops moved into the ground floor, whilst the first floor is dedicated for office space. The train station platform is used as an open restaurant terrace, where also cultural events and exhibitions take place.
